What was the experience like for the fourth entry on a DTV visa at DMK Airport?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
After my last not-so-great experience, today I completed my fourth entry on DTV. It was also my first time arriving at DMK Airport.
There was a long queue at immigration - I had to wait around 90 minutes. When it was my turn, I handed over my boarding pass and passport to the immigration officer, an older lady probably in her 50s.
She asked to see my visa letter but didn’t ask for the TDAC.
No further questions were asked, and she stamped my passport in under a minute.

You should be handing your visa over along with your passport every time, not waiting for them to ask you.

The last time I tried to do it, she just glanced over it and said I know. She didn’t want it.

Thanks so much for sharing this—it’s reassuring to hear how things played out, especially after a long wait at immigration. I’ll be arriving in September on the DTV as well (first time using it), so hearing that it went smoothly for you—even without showing the TDAC—is really helpful. Appreciate you posting the details!

Great to hear it was smoother for you this time, and great you highlight that border questioning could apply to everyone, including all visa holders. Enjoy Thailand!
